you have a good point. i'm at work right now, and saw that i had a notification so i am now checking reddit. all while i am supposed to be working.

here's what i don't understand though.

wouldn't i still be goofing off if the company implements a 4 day work week? if i am being honest with myself, i am pretty sure i'd have just as hard of a time staying on task, even with the extra day off.

So basically, you guys determined that successful relationships are more likely to be successful? I don't mean to be snarky, but how can you say you are predicting how happy people will be with their relationships by essentially asking them, how happy are you with these different aspects of your relationship? This study comes across as more commentary than prediction. The study would be interesting if you could prove that political idealogy, body type, age, religion, upbringing, personality traits are all predictors of varying degree as to whether a relationship will be successful because those are data points that remain somewhat constant before and after the start of a new relationship, and you could then determine how compatible a couple would be together should they choose to pursue a relationship, but the way I am reading this is that you guys basically asked people how happy they were with certain aspects of their relationship, and then said, "if you are in a good relationship, you are more likely to be happy!" It should not have taken 43 data sets from 11,000 couples and a machine learning algorithm to figure this out. This is obvious. Sure, maybe people didn't have an exact value to assign to each variable, but it's no secret that if you don't feel your partner isn't committed to the relationship or you aren't sexually satisfied, the relationship is likely doomed. Can you please offer me a rebuttal to this criticism?

i am an american, and i agree with you. i get reminders to vote from amazon, facebook, hulu, tinder etc, and i have a hard time believing that these organizations didn't first ensure that their respective campaigns to encourage voting wouldn't hurt their political goals.
